Ok, I wasn't sure if I was even going to write this. It's a bit embarassing to say the least..
I had the electrician look at the machine the other day, and he litterarely laid his magic hands on it and immediately found the problem
I had the switch panel hanging out of it's mount, to facilitate the measurement of the wires. Once the machine was powered up, all he did was to touch the panel, quickly pull his hand back and state that the error was found. At first I didn't quite understand how he could know that, so obviously I had to try it out myself too :zap:
Afterwards, we measured 230V between the surface of the panel and ground..
Then we disconnected the wires from the emergency stop switch and simply joined them together. Voila, the current was gone. So all the time, it was just a bad switch. :bang:
I'm sorry to have let you down on your error seeking challenge :poke:
I have spent the rest of my spare time putting the engine of my Nissan back together. Will post a picture when it's finished.
Oh, I've also bought a bit of new stuff. Hydraulic oil for both knee and transmissions and 5 litres of unmixed coolant :ddb:
Question:
- Where is a good place online to buy proper electrical switches?
Darren:
Glad to hear you got that sorted, in more ways then one :thumbup:

Hey Trion,
Glad it was a simple fix. No dissapointment here. Sometimes problems are just that simple. We always seem to lookd for more complicated answers. :clap:

So live chassis eh? Doh :bugeye:
At one stage used to repair teletypewriters. Always used to plug em into the bench switch on and then turn on the circuit breaker from a safe distance. If it tripped u know u gotta problem in the power supply.
It wasnt uncommon to find one that had a live chassis.
